WARSS (ورس) is a yellow dye from a perennial plant cultivated in Yemen, identified usually as Memecylon tinctorium, Melastomaceae, or sometimes Flemmingia rhodocarpus BAK, Leguminosae . According to Abū Ḥanīfa al-Dīnawarī’s chapter on dyestuffs (165-7), it is found only in Yemen, and there only as a cultivated plant. From various sources, he describes the best wars as bādira , from a young plant, the other sort being called ḥabas̲h̲ī because of some blackness in it; however, the ḥabas̲h̲ī gives pure yellow, while bādira can contain some redness. Hazrat Umme Salma رضي الله عنها says that “Ladies after menstrual cycle or delivery use to sit in (ورس) water for 40 days & we used to put AL-Wars on our faces because of freckles”. : Reference Ibn Ma-jah: 692; Book no. 1; In English volume no. 1; Book 1, Hadees no 648
